It is hard to do because of TV, but 40% of female board members is a lot of time for a board with a lot of women on it, and board meetings take time.
It is also a shame for us.
The Rugby Union takes twice as long.
There are five women on the board now?
Women are very competitive.
If one of them raises her hand, she probably feels she has to do it too, so they all speak up.
In the end, women are like that, and if I say too much, it will write that I spoke ill of them again, but if you increase the number of people, you have to regulate the time as well; otherwise, it will be challenging to finish. It is one of the reasons.
Many women are there in our organizing committee, about seven, and they all know what they are doing.
All of them are from athletic organizations and have stepped on the big international stage, so their comments are well-reasoned and to the point.
Yoshiro Mori: "The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology is being very picky.

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) is very picky about the 40% of female board members.
It takes a lot of time to have a board with many women on it.
The (Japan) Rugby Union (meetings) take twice as long as they used to.
Are there about ten women on the board, or is it five now?
Women are superior and have a strong sense of competition.
When one of them raises her hand and says something, I guess she feels she has to say something too. So they all speak up.
If you say too much, it will be a big problem if it leaks to the newspapers, and people will tell you spoke ill of them again. When increasing the number of women, she said, "If we don't encourage some regulation of the time for talking, it will be challenging to finish. I'm not going to say who said that.
How many women are there on our organizing committee?
I think there are about seven, and they all know what they are doing.
Everyone is all from athletic organizations and have stepped on the big international stage.
If there is a vacancy, we will immediately select a woman.
